The Christology of Jesus
In this bold experiment in Christology, Ben
Witherington develops a new, indirect method
to discern Jesus' self-understanding.
Using the evangelist's portrayals of Jesus' words, deeds, and relationships as avenues of insight, Witherington reveals a Jesus who both understood and disclosed himself in messianic terms, filling traditional terms–Son of man, Son of David, and Messiah–with new content.

Endorsements
"Witherington charts a bold course. Any christology, he argues, must begin with what Jesus said and thought about himself ... Whether one agrees with Witherington's conclusions or not ... his work is impressive. He demonstrates a familiarity with the relevant literature and makes his case cogently."
— Charles B. Cousar, Interpretation
"A thoughtful, well-done, and important work that should stimulate further attempts to probe the interior self-understanding of Jesus."
